Eventually, he settled for an "anti-belly button clause," permitting her to appear wearing a two-piece that covered her navel. Mike Nichols' film starred a 30-year-old Hoffman in a performance that would launch his career: A recent college graduate, seduced by an older woman, falls in love with her daughter.

Little did she know her grumbling would give birth to a pop culture phenomenon. It's been said that most of St. John's roles required wearing swimsuits, and it's not hard to see why: Best known for her role as Bond girl Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever, she spent at least three-quarters of the film in a bikini, searing the image into America's collective memory for good. Bosworth was relatively unknown before she played surfer girl Anne Marie in the 2002 movie, which also stars Michelle Rodriguez.

McAdams' role as 17-year-old Southern heiress Allie Hamilton in unabashed sobfest The Notebook sparked vintage-inspired swimwear trends everywhere, including many how-to guides for creating your own retro swimsuits.

Taylor’s character in this melodrama was a disturbed mental patient, but her white one-piece and sultry stare are all glamour.
